I was wrong! Thanks for the input. I'll add those points to the tutorial and describe what is going on. "Am I right in thinking the way you have it set up, if I reboot my mac I’ll have to manually launch the SleepWatcher daemon again and launchd would automatically launch it?" Yes, you are correct in thinking the way I have it set up you have to re-enable sleepwatcher on boot. I initially enabled it that way on my computer because I was testing and not ready to have it launch on boot/login. "Oh and one more question, is the best way to stop the SleepWatcher daemon to use the command .." Yes, that is a valid way to kill a daemon. If the daemon is designed correctly it looks for the SIGTERM posix command that is sent by killall or kill and will finish up its tasks before completely shutting down. Since sleepwatcher doesn't have a start/stop command this is the correct way to stop the process.

Without out your tutorial Terminal beginners like me would be stumped. And I wouldn't have been able to fix the wake-every-2-hours issue that comes with enabling Wake for network access. I have a question that i'd be grateful if you could answer When I compare your tutorial to the the SleepWatcher 2.2 ReadMe [under the "Installation for new SleepWatcher users"], your tutorial stops before addressing points 5, 6 and 7. Those points refer to configuring launchd for SleepWatcher. Would you be able to add those points to your tutorial and explain what they are for and why you didn't cover them originally? Am I right in thinking the way you have it set up, if I reboot my mac I'll have to manually launch the SleepWatcher daemon again and launchd would automatically launch it? Thanks again for the tutorial Linda H Oh and one more question, is the best way to stop the SleepWatcher daemon to use the command sudo killall sleepwatcher Hi Glen

Oh and one more question, is the best way to stop the SleepWatcher daemon to use the command
sudo killall sleepwatcher

You might want to try overriding the views using get_urls in the ModelAdmin: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.get_urls. Once you override it you can do your own permission checks and then call the parent view. Start there and dig deeper. In my case we hardly ever used the Django Admin. That’s a tricky one.
